In this paper, we propose a computationally efficient scheduling algorithm that can arbitrarily control the throughput-fairness tradeoff in a multiuser wireless communication environment. As a new scheduling criterion, we combine linearly two well-known scheduling criteria such as one of achieving the maximum sum throughput and the other of achieving the maximum fairness, so as to control the relative proportion of the throughput and the fairness according to a control factor. For linear combining two different criteria, their optimization directivenesses and the units should be unified first. To meet these requirements, we choose an instantaneous channel capacity as a scheduling criterion for maximizing the sum throughput and the average serving throughput for maximizing the fairness. Through a unified linear combining of two optimization objectives with the control factor, it can provide various throughput-fairness tradeoffs according to the control factors. For further simplification, we exploit a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) approximation of the instantaneous channel capacity. Through computer simulations, we evaluate the throughput and fairness performances of the proposed algorithm according to the control factors, assuming an independent Rayleigh fading multiuser channel. We also evaluate the proposed algorithm employing the high SNR approximation. From simulation results, we could see that the proposed algorithm can control arbitrarily the throughput-fairness performance between the performance of the scheduler aiming to the maximum sum throughput and that of the scheduler aiming to the maximum fairness, finally, we see that the high SNR approximation can give a satisfactory performance in this situation.

Communication between Bluetooth devices is based on TDD by a master unit. In this discipline, the transmission of slave packets can be made only when the master transmits a packet to the slave. Thus, some slots may be wasted when there is no user data in the master's or slave's queue due to the transmission of a POLL or NULL packet. Therefore a scheduling scheme which can minimize the slot waste is required in Bluetooth intra-piconet communication. However, since the master is responsible for the intra-piconet scheduling, it must be provided with an information on each slave's queue length to apply traditional scheduling schemes. which is impossible in Bluetooth. This paper presents a new Bluetooth intra-piconet scheduling scheme that is efficient and does not require the information on each slave's queue length. The scheduling is done based on the information about the existence of data in the master and slave queues which is derived by the master identifying the type of packets transmitted. The master schedules to communicate with the slaves according to the priorities determined based on this information. We Presents simulation results which indicate a significant improvement in the performance when our proposed scheme is used.

A game theoretic approach is applied for studying the energy efficient rate scheduling. The individual utility function is defined first. Then, a non cooperative rate game is modeled in which each user decides the transmission rate to maximize its own utility. The utility function considered here is the consumed energy for the individual user's data transmissions. In particular, using the fact that the utility function is convex, we prove the existence of Nash Equilibrium in the energy efficient rate scheduling problem at hand. Accordingly, a non cooperative scheduling algorithm is provided. For better energy efficiency, the sum of the individual user's utility function is optimized Finally, the convergence analysis and numerical results to show the energy efficiency of the proposed algorithms are provided.

In this paper, we propose a collision avoidance scheduling to increase the multiuser diversity gains in the adaptive orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system. The scheduling policy is based on the minimum collision criterion which investigates the differences of user channels. The paper includes the derivation of capacity expressions for the adaptive OFDMA system with the proposed scheduling. The analysis shows that the capacity of the system depends on the number of collisions between the selected users to be simultaneously served. Numerical results show that the proposed scheduling provides improved capacity performance over existing ones.

This paper shows the performance comparisons of several different rate scheduling schemes for non-real time data service over the uplink of burst switching-based direct sequencecode division multiple access (DS/CDMA) system to support the integrated voice/data service. The closed-form solution of optimal scheduling formulation, which minimizes average transmission delay when all of the active data users are transmitting simultaneously, is presented and mathematical analyses with other rate scheduling schemes, which provide efficiency criterion of transmission delay for rate scheduling schemes, are performed. Numerical results show the analyses explicitly.

The downlink scheduling algorithm has a great impact on the performance of mobile telecommunication system. In proportional fairness (PF) scheduling algorithm, the resource is allocated proportionally to the quality of wireless channel. Thus, PF has difficulty in servicing the users having more downlink traffic. One can allocate the resource proportionally to the accumulated queue length. However, this leads to system throughput degradation since the users having low channel quality get more and more resource allocated due to accumulation property of queue. In this paper, we propose a new downlink scheduling algorithm, which extends PF algorithm by incorporating downlink traffic arrival rate. The proposed algorithm can effectively cope with users having more downlink traffic, and maintain high system throughput by eliminating accumulation effect in the algorithm. With computer simulations, it is verified that the proposed algorithm performs better than existing algorithms.

무선 통신 환경에서 실시간 화상 통신을 위해 제안된 3G-324M 프로토콜은 회선 교환 통신을 사용함으로 인해 제한된 대역폭을 이용해야만 하므로 전송 시 여러 가지 제약이 발생하게 된다. 특히 송수신의 스케줄링을 효율적으로 하지 못할 경우 H.223 프로토콜에서 매 타임 슬롯마다 전송 가능한 최대 크기의 데이터를 전송 버퍼에 채워주지 못해 전송 지연 시간이 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위한 통신 스케줄링 기법을 제시한다. 이 통신 스케줄링 기법은 화상 프레임의 종류에 따라 크기가 크게 변한다는 사실에 기초해 H.223 프로토콜의 실행 비율을 임시적으로 증가시켜 지연시간이 늘어나는 것을 최소화하고 이로 인해 내부 버퍼 사용량을 줄일 수 있도록 한다. 또 수신 버퍼에 처리해야 할 데이터가 많은 경우, 임시로 H.223 프로토콜의 실행 비율을 증가시켜 불필요한 수신 지연 시간이 발생하지 않도록 한다. 실험은 내부 버퍼의 사용량은 제안한 통신 스케줄링 기법이 다른 통신 스케줄링 기법들에 비해 효율적으로 관리 되며 패킷의 손실률, 수신 단말기에서의 지연이 줄어드는 것을 보여준다.

We investigate rate scheduling and power allocation problem for a delay constrained CDMA systems. Specifically, we determine an energy efficient scheduling policy, while each user maintains the short term (n time slots) average throughput. We consider a multirate CDMA system where multirate is achieved by multiple codes. Each code can be interpreted as a virtual user. The aim is to schedule the virtual users into each time slot, such that the sum of transmit energy in n time slots is minimized. We then show that the total energy minimization problem can be solved by a shortest path algorithm. We compare the performance of the optimum scheduling with that of TDMA-type scheduling.
